Forget-Me-Not

After finishing the survey around the lake, I returned to Sakura, which was practically my hometown in this world.

Apparently everyone had been worried about me, but the village looked just as it always did.

After eating with everyone, we decided to show Akira and Amaranthus the prey I had obtained.

First was the kraken's tentacle that I had brought down beside the lake.

When I took it out of my Item Box, a huge white mass appeared on the ground.

"Fweeeeh!"

The beastfolk around me raised their fur when they saw the kraken's tentacle.

Even Nyareesa, who had boasted that she wouldn't be surprised, had her fur standing on end and was completely puffed up.

"Wahaha! How do you like that, Nyareesa? Your fur's standing on end, isn't it? Ah, that's disgusting!"

Nyamena was laughing uproariously, but her fur was standing on end too, making it a remarkably self-deprecating laugh...
